Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

The Gap Is Unbridgeable. Might As Well Piss 'Em Off Royally.


 The plight of the Central American refugee children illustrates the unbridgeable gap between conservative and liberal mindsets.  Liberals are generally in favor of giving these hard-knock kids a safe home here in the U.S.  But conservatives are all about saying "no."  They want to send them all back home to be murdered, more or less immediately.

Texas Gov. Rick "The Dick" Perry says he's gonna mobilize up to 1000 National Guardsmen and station them along the border, saying "I will not stand idly by while our citizens are under assault."  The Texas-Mexico border is 1254 miles long.  If the Guardsmen are evenly spaced, that's one man every mile and a quarter.  Brilliant, Rick.  That should stop the "assault" in its tracks.  (And despite Perry's new professorial eyeglasses, it ought to confirm his unsuitability for higher office, let alone his current one.)

Conservative simpletons want to wall off the entire country -- border security! -- while they simultaneously rip President Obama a new one for not "controlling" world events to their satisfaction.  Yep, they want to lock the world out and tell the world how to behave at the same time.  They see no contradiction in this, and believe they could do it easily.  Right.

For his part, Obama is pussyfooting on this one, calling it a humanitarian crisis (which it is) and also working to deport these hopeless kids with all deliberate speed.  WTF??  He's looking for middle ground where none exists.    

Hey, Cuz!  The right-tards hate you anyway, so quit trying to appease the unappeasable.  If you want to piss off a conservative, do it good and proper.  Let's take these kids in.  What are we afraid of?
